Hate to say it but the last time I saw a pic of that goo was of an engine with a cracked block, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. There is even a thread on another site trying to track serial numbers for a certain type of block cracking on 7.3s. LINK

i hope its the behind the water pump one. that should be allot easier to fix, i think the other might end the block or have to resleave it.
